ADD and ADHD

Wearing glasses is not putting a drug in one's system that affects the thought processes.

Apples to oranges.

Laveda stayed with my sister for a week at a time and my sister had written permission from Laveda's dad to take care of her as she saw fit.

And the way she took care of Laveda proved that Laveda did not need that medication that alters the brain.

Love and discipline is the key for the majority of kids who are diagnosed wrong just because the parents can't handle the child with proper discipline doesn't give them authority by God to alter their brains through drugs.

 

Christ still heals doesn't He sfic? Didn't He heals people's eyesight in the Bible, you still beleive He does don't you? Then you don't need glasses, just faith. Unless you like being hypocritical.
No one, not anyone, has the right to undermine parental rights.
Why do you support this illegal activity.

 

Drop it Donna.

I told you she had my brother's written permission to take care of Laveda as she saw fit.

Can't stand the fact that my sister was right and Laveda did not need that junk in her system, eh?

Of course Jesus still heals. But sometimes He chooses not to. And what did He say to those He chose not to heal?

Did He say "Go, and take man's drugs and don't worry about it"? NO! He said, "My grace is sufficent."

 

1. interference in parental rights. or would you do away with parental rights too?
2. then I supose you or your wife do not take medications, because 'My grace is sufficent', if you do, again hypocritical. Seems yu make a habit of that don't you.

 

What part of written permission do you not understand? By giving her written permission, he gave her rights to do as she wished.

 

Permission to make decisions if she should have medications he had already approved for her? Thats about as stupid as it comes.
Heres my child do what you want to to her, I give permission.

 

That's exactly what you do when you allow the doctor to alter your child's mind with drugs... "Here's my child, do what you want with her. I give permission."

 

Again, the fact that Laveda learned to listen and obey without drugs, but with love and proper discipline proved she did not need those 'brain zappers'... better yet, 'brain drainers.'

 

Good call. Because I'm ALWAYS right!! :laugh: raying:

 

Yes they're real. I have a brother and a cousin who are ADHD to the point even their growth is exaggerated. Their arms, legs and necks are too long for their bodies. Behavior issues were extreme with both of them. Medications didn't work for them so they just had to learn to cope. It was not easy but hallucinating on drugs wasn't a better option.

I don't know why it was decided that my cousin shouldn't be on medications but my parents decided to take my brother off because the medications after an episode where he sat on his tricycle and just screamed because he thought he'd fall into a crack on the sidewalk. Later he told us everything was distorted on the medication. His was not a typical reaction to the medication but his ADHD wasn't/isn't (you can still tell he's ADHD as an adult) typical either.

 

What's exactly what I do by allowing the Dr to prescribe ADHD meds to my children?

What about my son with epilepsy? Should I just trust Christ, and not give him the meds that prohibit seizures?

I read in the news yesterday (searched for it a few minutes ago, but couldn't find it) where a woman is being charged with neglect because she didn't give her child the medication the dr prescribed for her son who has cancer.

IT is neglect when the Drs prescribe something to help the children, and "know it all" parents think that prayer alone will heal their child.

God gave Drs the knowledge, and wisdom to help people with meds.

 

And the Lord gave my sister the wisdom to see Laveda did not need those brain drainers.

 

That was her decision... And since I don't know the situation, I will not condemn her for it.

As you shouldn't condemn me for listening to our pediatrician.

 

Can't see why people want to advocate zombie-like kids, but hey... each to his own

I would rather use discipline and love. proved effective hundreds of years before all these brain zappers were dispensed by those who don't realize the long term effects they cause.

 

And a few posts ago, on another thread, you mention going to the doctor, and receiving drugs.


I believe that is known as hypocrisy.

 

Nice judgementalism. Matthew 7 ring a bell?

You don't know that situation, and yet you feel comfortable passing judgement on a brother in Christ. Sad.

Last time I checked, he didn't slam you for your "lack of trust" in God...since you took meds for your physical ailment.

 

As I said earlier, you can't discipline a chemical imballance in the brain out of a person.
How do you know it was effect for hundreds of years, were you there? Do you mean to say there were no problem children hundreds of years ago? These types of children likely got their butts beat because people did not have the knowledge to kow it was a malfunction in the brain.
Again, if you or your wife take medications at all, ever, then you have no right to complain about anyone elses medications. Because if you did it would be hypocritical.

 

SFIC,

You need to back off on the rhetoric. Be kind to other posters. Do not be condescending. You may be right about some things, but your demeanor makes it untasteful. Please be more careful.

 

I did not receive a mind-altering drug.
